16 inch Bullitt wheels?

[RED98]

Has anyone seen any 16 inch Bullitt wheels anywhere? I have a friend with a '91 GT who doesn't want to do a 5-lug conversion. Can you get these wheels in 16 inch size, and if so, where? I have tried e-bay and a few wheel/tire sites, no luck.

Nope, no 16" versions and definitely no 4-lug version.

5-lug and 17" is his only choice

that would look soooo horrible....like 16" cobra R's lol

he'll have to suffice for a different style

Cragar makes some 16" wheels in that 'style' but definately not in a 4lug...that would be impossible based on the design....it'd have 4 spokes lol

Boyd Coddington has some 17" bullit type wheels in 4 lug. I think they are called "smoothie" but I am not 100% sure what they are called. Not near as good looking as a 5 lug bullit though.

Actually there are some 16'' American Racing Torque Thrusts out there, it's just a matter of finding a set. Also they're going to be 5 lug no matter what if you want that same style rim. American Racing did make a rim that has spokes that are similar, but they use a center cap design to cover the 4 lug pattern. They came in 17'' but good luck finding them, and they really didn't look as good as the real thing.

5 Spoke Bullitts would be impossible unless some took a holesaw to 1 of the Spokes in order use a lugnut. It would either have to have 4 Spokes or 8 Spokes in order to get away with 4 Lugs.

the smoothies are actually pretty nice looking, and if i remember correctly there is a guy on here or corral who has a blue gt with them and it looks sweet.

Thanks for all the replies.. the reason this friend of mine doesn't want to go to 17's is that he's afraid they'll be too big for the wheel well in a Fox and he won't be able to turn. I'm not sure; when I had my '88 5.0 it had the turbine wheels, which I think are 15 inch. Are 17's ok in a stock 5.0?

I have 17's on my '88


It's lowered with Ford C springs too
